Episode 96: Emily Claybourn on the Joy of Reading

In No Hurry with Cole Douglas Claybourn

I don't know anyone who reads more books than my wife, Emily. Seriously. In 2022 she read over 130 books! It's truly a joy for her to escape into a story and let her imagination run wild as she imagines these characters. A couple years ago, she started an Instagram account where she rates and reviews books and it's become a huge creative outlet for her, as well as a place to find community with other like-minded readers. She's gotten to meet some people who she considers friends and it's allowed her to have a ton of runway to talk about these books that she really loves.

As we enter the heart of summer, we thought it would be fun for Emily to talk about some of her favorite books for 2023 and give some recommendations for summer reading. She's been on the podcast before, but this is probably the most excited she's ever been to be on. If you're a voracious reader, this episode is for you. If you have people in your life who love books, be sure to share this with them.

Also, please give Emily's bookstagram a follow — @emsalwaysreading. She does such a great job on there and it's been really fun to see that outlet grow.
